Description

The FLATSIM service (ForM@Ter LArge-scale multi-Temporal Sentinel-1 InterferoMetry) is developed as part of the ForM@Ter Solid Earth data and services center and operated by CNES (Thollard & al., 2021[2]). It allows systematic processing of interferograms from Sentinel-1 data, as well as displacement time series, over large geographic areas. It is based on the InSAR “New Small temporal and spatial BASelines” processing chain (Doin & al., 2011[4], Grandin, 2015[3]) NSBAS.

The scientific objectives are to allow the measurement of the deformations of the Earth's surface on a continental scale, and thus to ensure the spatio-temporal monitoring of critical regions (large zones of active faults and magmatic systems, landslides at the scale of large massifs…).

A call for ideas to define the areas to be processed is opened annually (the last was launched in spring 2022).
